Guelph police are investigating after thousands of dollars worth of tools were stolen during a break and enter early Sunday.

Shortly before 3 a.m. police received an alarm call at a business on Silvercreek Parkway North near Speedvale Avenue West. Officers arrived to find the glass front door smashed out.

Video surveillance showed a white GMC Savana van reversing up to the front door. Two males exited the rear of the van and smashed the door before loading up several Milwaukee and Dewalt-brand power tools, including a chainsaw. The total value of the stolen tools was more than $4,000.

The first suspect is described as having dark skin and a thin build, wearing a black track suit with white stripe, full dark face covering and possibly a turban. The second male also had dark skin and a medium build and was wearing a white jacket, black hoodie, jeans and a face mask. There is no description available for the third suspect who was driving the van.

The incident remains under investigation.
